Candidate gene× environment (G× E) interaction research tests the hypothesis that the
effects of some environmental variable (eg, childhood maltreatment) on some outcome …

The D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2) has been one of the most extensively investigated gene
in neuropsychiatric disorders. After the first association of the TaqI A DRD2 minor (A1) allele …

Drug dependence is a chronic, relapsing disorder in which compulsive drug-seeking and
drug-taking behaviours persist despite serious negative consequences. Addictive …

There is evidence that stress and glucocorticoids alter drug self-administration and
mesolimbic dopamine (DA) activity in preclinical models. The primary purpose of this study …

We investigated the association of the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) Taq1A polymorphism
and alcoholism, using meta-analytic techniques, and specifically undertook an investigation …

As our field seeks to elucidate the biopsychosocial etiologies of mental health disorders,
many traditional psychological and social science researchers have added, or plan to add …

Since 2005, a rapidly expanding literature has evaluated whether environmental factors
such as socio-cultural context and adversity interact with genetic influences on drinking …

Previous studies have found that both political orientations (Alford, Funk, and Hibbing) and
voting behavior (Fowler, Baker, and Dawes; Fowler and Dawes) are significantly heritable …

This article describes three types of gene–environment interactions and the challenges
inherent in interpreting these interactions. It also reports on what is known about gene …

The human dopamine 2 receptor Taq1A allele has been implicated as a vulnerability factor
for alcohol dependence in a number of studies and reviews. To determine whether this …
